To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I JduN'F. OM4LLEY, a.

citizen ofthe United Eltates, and a resident of Avoca, in the county of Luzeme and State of Penns lvania, have invented a new and Imowmg is a full; clean, and exact description.

T invention relates to a combination tool, and the object of the invention is to produce a tool of sim le construction which can he used as a wrench or hack saw. In its construction the device is embodied with a pair of liers which also constitute a wire cutter. he invention consists in. the construction and combination of parts to be more fully do};

ort

prove (/ombinatiomTool, of which the folin the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the ures.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the evice showing the same when adapted to be used as a hack saw, the pliers bein represented in their open position; when ey are closed they constitute a handle for the saw and also a handle for a wrench, as indicated in Fig. 3; Fig. 2 is a bottom plan or bottom ed e view of the device when used as a saw; an Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the tool, showing a portion of the same broken away.

Rktferrin more articularly to the parts, the bbd o the tool is formed of two lat'es l and 2 w ich are superposed upon eac other and secured together, as shown. The late 1 has an elon ated portion at the .han le of the device, an both lates are enlarged so as is head 3 is formed below with an outwardly projecting jaw 4 which constitutes the main aw of the wrench.

-This jawis formed with a vertical slot 5 as illustrated which is employed'when the device is being head as a saw. The head 3 at the rear of the jaw-4, is formed with a vertical or tra erse guide slot 6 as shown which is promed'bp' forming channels 7.in the adjacent faces 0 the plates, asindicatod in Fig. 2. In this guide slotfi, a rack 8 is adapted to slide, and this tank on its rear face is provided with teeth 9. These teeth are adapted to be engaged by a shoe or block 10 which has teeth on its forward face for this purpose, as shown. This shoe or block 10 is ulded in a horizontal slot 11 as illustratcd which communicates with an 0 coin v 12 formed through the two plates. eyon this opening 12 the head is provided with ahonzontal ui e pocket 13 as illustrated which is in a inement with the guide-way 11. The shoe or block 10 is formed with an intelgral shank 14 of rectangular cross section, w ich extends across the opening and projects into the guide pocket 13. In the opening 12 there is provided a spring 15, and this spring thrusts against the right edge of the openin and also against the block 10 so as to ho] the block in engagement with the rack as shown in Fig. 3. At its sides the block or shoe 10 is provided with outwardly projecting lips 16 which are adapted to be seized so as to compress the s ring in order to release the rack. The rac 8 is formed integral with a movable jaw 17, which lies opposite to' the jaw 4 and is adapted to ap proach the same, in a well understood manner, so as to grip a nut or similar machine art. p Communicating with the upper portion of the guide slot 6 as illustrate a recess or socket 18 is formed between the plates, and at this recess the side plates are provided with registering openings l9 one of which 0 enings is threaded so as to receive a removalilescrewZO,asindicatedinFi .1. When the ,device is being used as a wrenc i, this screw 20 ,is not placed in position. The two plates 1 and 2 are rigid] secured together by mennsof rivets 21, whic 1 are )laccd as shown in Fig. l. The edge of the p ate 2 of the tool, at the handle part, is formcdso as to present an inclined face 22, and at the extremity of the handle part of the plate 1, a jaw 23 is formed which cooperates with a similar jaw 24 formed on a lever 25 which is pivoted at 26 to the plate 1. This lever 25 has an inclined edge27 which is ada ted to come against the edge 22 when the p icrs are closed, as indicated in Fig. 3.

In order to enable the device-to be used as a hack saw, I provide a saw bar 28, the end of which is received in the socket l8. This saw bar is provided with an opening tllrou h which the screw 20 passes so as to hold t 0 saw biu; ri idly in )osition, as will be readily understood. In t \is connection it should he understood that the rear-end of the saw bar comes against the rchr edge of the socket l8, and the lower edge of the sawlmr seats against the lower edge of the socket, so that the bar will be held rigidly in position. The saw her 28 has n. downwardly turned arm 29 to which a saw blade 30 is attached. The

other end of this saw blade is received in the socket 5, and is held in this position by means of a removable screw 31 which is mounted in openings 32 formed. in the lower jaw.

When the device is bein r used as a wrench, evidently the distance )etween the jaws may be quickly adjusted. The pliers when not in use constitute a convenient handle for 'operating the wrench or saw. it is also evident that the wrench can be quickly transformed into a heck sow.

Before ettachin the saw it is necessary to close the wrench, t lat is, to brin v the jaws 17 and 4 together, as indicated in ig. 1.

on the inner edge of the suw bar and provide a substantial support therefor.

In the rear extremitg oi the )hito an 20 opening 33 is formed t rough which. n wire may be thrust so that the wire may be cut by the edge of 27 of the lever in closing the pliers.

Having thus described my invention, I 2.; claim as new and desire to'secure by Letters Patent,--

The movable jnw may then be adjusted to bear 1 1. A wrench having 'aws and a guide slot, the guide slot adapts to receive the inner end portion of a saw bar, one of the jaws rigid with the wrench and having a slot to no receive the saw blade and the other jaw engaged in the guide slot to move to and from the rigid jaw and adopted to support the saw bar when the saw blade and saw bar are in workiiu position.

2. The combination of a wrench having jaws and a guide slot one of the jaws mow, able to and from the other aw in the said guide slot and the other jaw imving a slot, a saw bar and a saw blade ads )ted to be re- 40 s iectively secured in the gui 0 slot and in the slotof the jaw and menus for holding the movable j aw in adjusted position and against the saw her.

In testimony whereof I have signed my FRANK CAR Y, GRAFTON Honv.
